Having to go on-screen to switch between 2 and 6-ch is a pain. Plus, I found out (the hard way) that you can't hook up 2-ch analog ICs (for redbook CD), 6-ch analog (for DVD-A) AND a digital cable (for DVD-V) without setting off a feedback squeal. This is how my last deck, a Panasonic DVD A7, was configured with no problems. Plus, you could go from 2-ch, to digital output, to multichannel on the fly from the faceplate.

I've not experienced any visual bugs. And the benefits of the 9200 are audible, ie: even with the horrid ergonomics, I wouldn't go back. One other gripe on the Tosh: transport noise during HDCD playback, usually (and rather oddly) only through the first two or three cuts of the disc. ???
